He’s not wrong but I think we are running out of ways to not use advertising to keep the lights on.

Maybe websites should be run as public utilities based on how much benefit they bring to the commons rather than how much profit they bring to already wealthy shareholders.

Running what exactly? Hugely overblown advertisement companies like Twitter which run services that can be feasibly replaced by a bunch of people running Mastodon servers out of their basement?

Most of the online services could be easily be replaced by something like your local library subscription service as the core services are only a tiny part of what these advertisement giants spend their revenue on.
